I always liked Tom Wolfe’s definition of a cult–A cult is a religion with no political power. Depending on each sect’s local jurisdiction, they (Mormons and their break-away sects) could be either.

But I can’t help but think that the guy accepting the offering could be the local jurisdiction (Judge Johnny Griffin (?) of Schleicher County) enacting a specious probable cause warrant in a long line of the-end-justifies-the-means (local to federal) government action.

Is there child abuse at these break-away Mormon sects and are woman treated like possessions? By our current mores–Yes. Did the authorities investigate OR take at face value the call from an anonymous “16 year old abuse victim” before bringing in the Calvary and taking their children? That question might be decided by the Texas or U.S. Supreme Court. …just sayin’… Hold on to your hat and keep those guns holstered.

fill: Not sure labeling these clowns as right-wing is appropriate, but calling them nut cases is dead on. Certainly, this is another prime example of justifying predatory habits using Biblical references.

Just think about it. It seems like that old song by Genesis “Jesus He Knows me” is like so true. When one compares the song to the events in EL DORADO, this JEFFS dude is a real character or monster I should say. Oh, well its all in a day’s worth for this people I guess.

Man’s interpretations of God’s laws as their own, will, and always will be, dealt with severe supernatural consequences. Divine law is above and higher and not up for debate. There is no gray or fuzzy if and or buts. Whenever one messes with these little one’s that belong to Jesus, well their faith is sealed and He will say on judgment day, “I do not know you.” That is one statement I hope I will never hear from The Son of Man and strive to not ever hear that from my Lord.

All these things that have transpired, from that sect and officials from Texas, God help them, for a dirty and filthy thing has been done deemed worthy of abominable proportions on all involved.

No one can “wash their hands” on this awful episode in man’s stupid ways, albeit among many. This has happened to show His glory and stupid mans failures, once and more to come. Shame on all that separate themselves from “The Great I Am” that gives peace.

We are all living in the 21st century and it is very evident that mankind is going backwards instead of forward. Look at the state of this world now. How nice it is, huh?

A second look at this toon shows the mother of the child being “offered up” with her hands in prayer. I heard today on the news that a number of the mothers from this sect have elected to go to shelters rather than back to “the ranch”. They are brave indeed to have the courage to break with the mantra of this sect. Hopefully that courage will spread.

I wondered if the collection basket was held by a CPS worker. If so, where is the armed policeman that “encourages” the donation of the children by their parents? The cartoon omits the “donation” of a male child as well. So the children are protected from their dangerous parents, without proof that any specific parent is dangerous. I think the NAZI’s would have recognized the guilt by association used to preconvict all the parents.

Mr. Lester, the number of boys in that group has dropped to one-half by the time they are 14 years old. Strange? No, “Sixty Minutes” interviewed several of the “lost boys”, who are on the streets trying to survive with the other abandoned children from that cult. It is illegal to abandon a pet, much less a child. That is why there are no boys in the cartoon–they have been dumped on the streets at ages 13 to 14 years old.

I was wondering what took you so long to make a toon about this Nick! In addition to child molestation, this fringe group teaches their followers race hatred in that the black race are spawn of Cain and therefore all evil, the doctrine in “Blood Atonement” where a sinner can be murdered, and the looniest of all…In order for a man to get into heaven he must have a minimum of 3 wives. I thank the lord this Jeffs character was in prison when the authorities decided to move on the Zion compound, because if he had been there it may have ended up worse that the Davidian disaster.

This whole thing is nothing but sexual perversion by deviates of the highest order. The children are victims, and I suppose the women are of such low self esteem that corrupting people in that frame of mind to be sexual slaves is one of the most heinous immoral acts that man can commit.

“Of the 463 children, 250 are girls and 213 are boys. Children 13 and younger are about evenly split — 197 girls and 196 boys — but there are only 17 boys aged 14 to 17, compared with the 53 girls in that age range.”

Kind of suspicious, isn’t it? More than one type of child abuse, I’d say.
